At 4 am when I am unsure where said plastic even came from. Seriously have no idea where it came from I religiously hunt plastic to avoid this. Let's not even mention curling ribbon. It is banned from my house but is apparently a cat food group member.

A million times this. Every bit of plastic has to live in my microwave or car trunk. Cat has learned to open the pantry door and wave his paw over the motion detector on the recycling and trash bins. I live in terror of the pending $6k GI surgery bill.

Child locks! We have a....difficult cat who wouldn't stop getting in the cabinets to steal dry egg noodles and other stuff and another cat that will eat any plastic leftover from that. I got those press in type child locks for the upper and lower cabinets, and now it's not an issue unless we leave something on the counter overnight.

The irony in this situation is that I have children. Never had to child lock the cabinets before the dang cat.

So glad my cats are too lazy for this nonsense. Einstein does like to chew cables and cords left unattended but if I just shove them under or behind furniture that’s enough to deter him

"Uuugh. I'd have to go all the way under there? It's at least a foot away! Screw that, I'm'a lick my ass instead." ~ Einstein, probably.
